Holyrood PR picks up charity account

Holyrood PR has picked up the account for a children’s charity following a four-way pitch.

The Sick Kids Friends Foundation is the charity which supports the work of Edinburgh’s Royal Hospital for Sick Children.

The agency will be working to promote a new strategy to showcase the impact the SKFF makes across patients, their families, medics and the NHS – as well as providing crucial support ahead of the opening of the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in 2017.

Holyrood PR has also been appointed to work with a second charity, the Scottish Schools Pipes and Drums Trust, the body devoted to safeguarding and promoting the teaching of bagpipes in schools across the country. It chose Holyrood PR to manage its “bagpipe amnesty” campaign.

Raymond Notarangelo, co-founder of Holyrood PR, said: “We wanted to ensure we got 2016 off to flier after ending 2015 on such a high – and that has certainly happened.”
